Lovingly called »Schloss« – German for palace – the late-classicist villa can be seen from afar thanks to its striking octagonal tower. The stately house stands in good company, amongst palaces and castles like Schönhausen, Glienicke or Friedrichsfelde and is a gem in Berlin’s memorial landscape that has only about 25 castles, manor houses and palaces left.
Today Schloss Biesdorf is the municipal gallery of the Marzahn-Hellersdorf district and presents – free of charge – changing exhibitions with contemporary art and art from the cultural heritage as well as a small permanent exhibition on the history of the house. With more than 3,000 square meters Schloss Biesdorf is a venue for events of all types – from concerts and guided tours, to artist exchanges, to lectures and literary formats.
